Review

While the emphasis is on the music of Zaire, this disc does come close to meeting the promise of its subtitle as the "ultimate African dance party." It's hard to quibble with the irresistible beats of King Sunny Ade and Franco & Rochereau. There are fine grooves throughout, so get moving. ~ Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide
